Abstract :
We present a modelling framework for embedding current-coupled lumped networks into time-domain TLM field models. The connection algorithm is based on the representation of the TLM network by equivalent Norton current sources. This framework complements the previously described voltage-coupled methodology and is suitable for integrating general n-port lumped circuits into 3D field space. The lumped circuit can be modelled by state-space equations or by means of circuit solvers such as SPICE.
